Device name
FreeStyle Libre – Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM)
Description
Freestyle Libre 1: The FreeStyle Libre system, which first launched in Europe in 2014, with a 14-day wear time, was the first to eliminate the need for fingersticks[1]. With just a quick, one-second scan of the touch-screen reader, users can see real-time glucose readings, as well as identify glucose trends with a directional arrow and review eight hours of glucose history.
Freestyle Libre 3: The world’s smallest sensor[2],[3]. This system has unsurpassed 14-day accuracy4 and optional glucose alarms, but also evolves the portfolio with new features, such as continuous real-time glucose readings automatically delivered to a person's smartphone every minute and a sensor that's easy to apply with a simple one-piece applicator.
- A finger prick test using a blood glucose meter is required during times of rapidly changing glucose levels when interstitial fluid glucose levels may not accurately reflect blood glucose levels or if hypoglycaemia or impending hypoglycaemia is reported by the system or when symptoms do not match the system readings.
- Among patient-applied sensors.
